I need a new team. Seahawks suck.

Yeah, but you won't. It's part of the sickness of sports fandom. Even as you're about to hit the vast wasteland of mediocrity for an unknown number of years (they'll tell you it's a two year retooling or whatever but c'mon), they'll still be your team.

You may have confused me with a Packers, Bears, or Bills fan. I'm only as loyal as the teams in the league have become.

If you're bitching about them next season we will know.

Yeah, we'll see. The real test isn't me - it's Lady O. I've been shat on by favourite teams in the past. But so far it isn't looking good for the 'Hawks - at least in terms of enthusiasm. I doubt we'll actually root against them when they play Denver next year, but probably wouldn't shed any tears if Wilson shreds them.

Eagles fans' reactions to Commanders' Wentz trade are perfect

What a few weeks it's been for Philadelphia's sports villains.

Not long after Ben Simmons was shipped up to Brooklyn, ending Simmons' acrimonious holdout, former Eagles franchise QB Carson Wentz has been traded for the second time in less than 13 months, this time with Wentz heading back East to Washington.

Wentz is now a Commander, which is hilarious for so many reasons.

It proves Howie Roseman an absolute wizard for being able to wrest a first-round pick away from the Colts in exchange for Wentz; it proves Eagles fans right for being ready to jettison Wentz after his embarrassing 2020 season; and it proves that Washington is an absolute joke of an organization.

Just an all-around great day for Eagles fans everywhere, and you'd better believe that when the news broke Birds fans were ready to pounce with some jubilant reactions online:

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Yep, just a complete and total victory lap + victory cigar situation here for Eagles fans. This is fantastic.

Now to check on how Commanders fans are feeling...

Back to the article:

Ah, yes. The sound of Washington's NFL franchise still spinning its wheels in mediocrity. Familiar and perfect. Thank you Dan Snyder!

This should be fantastic fodder for the Eagles-Commanders rivalry for the next however many games of football Wentz plays in Washington. Eventually the Commanders' front office will realize that he's a pumpkin and ship him somewhere else.

The dude isn't good. Have fun with that, D.C.!

Iggles fans can be rough. And not just on other teams. Wait til the team formerly known as 'Skins brings their former Iggle QB into Philly and manages to pull off a win.

Looks like they'll be shocked by it. Maybe fans of a 2021 9-8 team shouldn't be that quick to gloat. However, Phil was 2-0 vs the 7-10 WFT.

I haven't really followed Wentz.
2020 in Phil was a mess, 72.8 QBRat.
2021 in IND wasn't awful, 94.6 QBRat. His fumbles were the lowest ever at 8.
Career isn't awful, 90.1 QBRat.

His career and 2021 stats are slightly better than Phil's Jalen Hurts:

Did you guys ever see Silver Linings Playbook?

They pretty much nailed it.

No, but I just read the synopsis. Go Eagles!

Very good film, but I would give JLaw an award for just existing.

If you trade Russell Wilson just to start Drew Lock for 17 games, the city of Seattle should honestly press charges.

Also, 49'ers are happy.

Can't believe 70 year old Pete Carroll is at all happy with this.

He can't want to be any part of a rebuild.

Unless he quits, it will close out his career.

Hey!
A new reason to watch the Manningcast.

Ummm, that would be 20 years with Fox.

Feels like 30.

Seahawks legend Bobby Wagner says team didn't contact him before release

Welcome to the NFL.

The article addresses that:

... It is not required for teams to reach out to players and notify them before making roster decisions, so the Seahawks didn't violate any NFL rules. It is, however, bad form for the team to cut Wagner without making a phone call.

Wagner isn't some random player who spent three weeks with the team. He's a 10-year veteran who posted elite numbers with the franchise. Wagner made eight Pro Bowls in Seattle and was elected to six All-Pro teams. He also helped lead the team to a Super Bowl win in 2013. Given all he accomplished with the team, a phone call would have been a respectful way to handle the situation....

Regardless, it's another example of the housecleaning that 70 year old Pete Carroll has to deal with.
